Cha Jun Sung bent over and punched the face of a bizarre looking 3-4m mutant . It’s head split like a watermelon .
“Killed them all . ”
His immediate area is a field of corpses .
There are crushed mutants missing limbs everywhere .
He did this within minutes .
Kik!
A faint sound .
Cha Jun Sung’s finger flicks out and tosses through the debris .
A scream coming from the throes of death . One of them must be alive .
“Phew . How much longer do I have to wait for them to find me? It would be easier if I could go to them . ”
[I cannot tell you their location . ]
“I know . ”
Tyrant entered the mission .
That was already several weeks ago . He doesn’t know what he’s doing and where . He knows nothing other than that he had entered .
If he had known where Tyrant was, he would have gone and spied on him at the least .
Cha Jun Sung has nothing to do right now, so he is hunting mutants . He means to accumulate points while Tyrant makes his way here .
“It isn’t easy finding useful ones . ”
He needs a lot of mutants if he is to take on Tyrant and the Rage guild . With his personality, he is likely to have come in with a full core .
10,000 levels B and C Lifers .
That is a powerful group even without Tyrant .
He needs to head off the number of heads . He is looking for a useful mutant species that live in groups, but they don’t really catch his eye .
At the least, he wants level 5 mutants that live in groups of tens of thousands, but he has only seen useless ones until now .
There hasn’t been progress for weeks .
He would want nothing more if there were things like the parasites from the Path of Blood, but it seems he had been lucky them .
“A single mutant is entirely useless if it isn’t level 7 . ”
Mutants, like humans, have individual characteristics .
There are different personalities within species as well . So what would happen if the species were different?
There will be problems if they are gathered into one area, even if they are managed well .
Level 7 is worth managing regardless of species when considering strength . There won’t be many of them anyway, so it’ll be a small group of elites .
It is an impossible goal because it’s hard to even find one .
This is why Cha Jun Sung wants mutants that live in groups .
If he just takes out the head, the underlings will follow him naturally .
The suppression process is bothersome, it isn’t impossible .
Cha Jun Sung reduced his 10m body into a fourth of the size . He only maintained his body during battle . Otherwise, he limited his consumption of energy .
He doesn’t transform into human form .
He will maintain this form until this is all over . He cannot forget .
His role in Black Devil is the mutant .
Is it because he has gotten used to the battlesuit?
There’s a strange sense of awareness when he is in this state . He intends to get rid of that feeling .
Cha Jun Sung is in mutant form, but he cannot lose his human habits . He only sleeps on the street and eats raw meat when he has to . Normally, he acted like an ordinary human .
He maintained his living habits . He is only externally a monster .
Less than an hour of sleep over several days is plenty, so he took care of that in derelict buildings or hotels . And Odin procured food for him .
Since Cha Jun Sung entered the mission, all he’s done is eat, sleep, and play .
“This won’t do . ”
For the past few days, he stopped hunting and locked himself in a residence to come up with a plan .
The plan isn’t very special . Power enhancement is priority . He needs to find good fighters to take on the Rage guild members .
He went searching through everything in Path of Blood without complaint because he was looking for Odelia, but it isn’t his duty right now .
He wandered around the area he had been initially summoned to, barely searching for them . There can only be a minimal number of mutants since the area he is working in is small .
“Get me my space compression bag . ”
[You’ve decided to use it . ]
“What else can I do? I don’t want to go searching around . ”
Good fighters . If he knows where mutants are gathered, he can just go looking for them . But he has to search through everything because he doesn’t .
His stance changed . He tried to save his points before entering, but that resolve came crashing down once he entered .
Woong!
Odin connects the dimensions .
A summons gate opened in front of Cha Jun Sung and a small bag, his space compression bag, came out .
It has been filled with better items than what was in the one that he lost .
Papat!
Cha Jun Sung took his space compression bag and went to the top of the highest buildings where he was staying . Then he took out a few Universe Eyes .
“Let’s use one first . ”
A Universe Eye became activated and shot into the sky . It ejected the hundred eyes and the search range immediately expanded to a 100km radius .
“I’ll send two more out . Give me any two coordinates that overlap . ”
[355 . 253 . Southeast . 620 . 962 . Northeast . If they are installed according to this Universe Eye, this will have the best effect . ]
Boom boom!
2 Universe Eyes fly to the locations Odin listed .
This method of installation was called the ‘sandwich’ in the virtual version .
The Universe Eyes will be installed if it is within the search range without having to go himself .
It is inefficient however . The search ranges overlap and cover areas that don’t need to be included . It isn’t a method used unless in special circumstances .
[2 hours estimated for installation at this flight speed . Will you search the area that has been installed first?]
“It’s fine . I’ll just do it all at once . ”
His normal PDA is inside the space compression bag . He can look at the hologram with that . There’s no reason to look at it two or three times . He’ll look at them all together .
***
[As you can see, there are three mutant groups that meet the search conditions . The Thirask herd, Poison herd, and Bomb Ant herd . ]
They only found three mutant herds that live in groups even though he sent out 3 Universe Eyes .
The Thirask is a low level 5 lizard that is a half size larger than an elephant . Its main attacks are through its poisonous teeth and tail . There are about 3000 to 4000 of them living near the river .
The Poison herd are poisonous butterflies . Middle level 5 . They took control of a city and are stuck all over the buildings . They number about half of that of the Thirask . They possess several types of poison and are a flying species, so they are weak against the strong and strong against the weak . One of them can kill hundreds .
Lastly, unlike the previously discovered two mutant groups, the Bomb Ant are low level 4 red and black ants that are as large as humans .
Like its name ‘Bomb,’ Bomb Ants are a suicide team that specialize in self-destruction .
Its explosive power is similar to that of a grenade . That power cannot destroy a basic type battlesuit, but their strength is volume .
If water drops keep falling, they can penetrate a rock . Nothing could be worse than having dozens of them swarm in everywhere .
They live deep in a cave, and it is impossible to figure out how many of them there are .
They live in a place that makes it hard for the Universe Eye or the hundred eyes .
“Take the Thirask out . I don’t like it because it’s gross . ”
He is joking .
The Thirask can’t fight properly if there is no water . If their supply of water is cut off for a long time, they will dry up and die . There are a lot of restrictions .
The Poison herd is a no-go as well . There are too few of them . If they go into aerial battle with thousands of battlesuit Lifers, they’ll be overwhelmed as soon as they strike . The efficacy of poison that only works against living things falls to the characteristics of mechanical armor . Only acid poison powder would work, but that won’t do the job .
“Let’s go with the Bomb Ants . ”
They are low level and he doesn’t know how many of them there are, but ants tend to be high in numbers . In severe cases, hundreds of thousands of them live together .
Even in the virtual version, he’s never heard of Bomb Ants living in numbers of hundreds or thousands . Their main attack is only suicide, but that depends on how they’re used .
[We have seen level 5 and 6 mutants in original form near the Bomb Ant hill, using them as a source of food . ]
“Are they allies?”
They could have created a tacit alliance in order to prevent the expansion of the Bomb Ants’ power . They are managing the balance so that it does not come crashing down .
“The distance?”
[Coordinates 725 . 522 . They are 170 km northeast . ]
“It’s far . ”
Wings form on Cha Jun Sung’s back . They aren’t that difficult to control, but he has gotten better at it . It is slow, but he is able to fly . It’ll be better for him to fly there and get a chance to practice .
